Elaboración de un plan de riesgos ergonómicos en la actividad del mototaxismo en el municipio de Sincelejo – Sucre

Abstract

In this project, was developed the state of the art of ergonomics, by identifying the different types of ergonomics, ergonomic risks, factors and assessments that define the levels of risk, depending on the ergonomic conditions to be evaluated. Likewise, were identified the different national and international regulations related to ergonomics; then landing on ergonomic regulations for motorcycle riding. The investigation of the studies developed on the activity of mototaxismo was carried out, from the national perspective and the municipal dimension, and were identified the conditions of the informal work sector in the country and the labor market in the department of Sucre; developing in this way a characterization of motorcyclists in Colombia, and specifically, mototaxismo in the municipality of Sincelejo - Sucre. An ergonomic survey and evaluation was carried out using the Lest method and the Owas method, which allowed us to identify the risk factors of mototaxismo and lay the foundations of the design of an ergonomic risk plan based on the management of the postural load, physical environment, mental load and work times of the mototaxismo work, making for this preventive measures focused on the use of elements of personal protection, review and maintenance of the motorcycle, and training and information activities. This plan aims to be a guide for the administrative authorities in the way of recognizing the importance of educational campaigns in mototaxistas, in order to prevent traffic accidents.
